When i started to participate in historical festivals and Role-playing games, appeared the necessity in belts authentic and beautiful ribbon for hairs. Than I decided to study Tablet weaving. Tablet weaving is used from beginning of our age and up to a new time. Vikings and anglo-saxons were made ribbon with interesting and beautiful textures. Ribbon were using for dressing clothes, belts and etc.Tablet is squared with four holes in every angle. Originals tablets were made from bones or wood, but I made from carton. Through every hole runs a thread. Can use wool thread, in this case ribbon will be thicker, and can use silk, linen, cotton and also synthetics thread. There is special program that help to made ribbon with specific design.Nobody of friends of mine knew tablet weaving before, that’s why I had to study by myself, learning all information’s by Internet. First cm. were bad – threads were interlacing, tablets were falling out from my hands, were must dissolve a few time, but later everything has gone well. Now all my “masterpieces” can be founded in all Russia, and remains in my hands only several ribbons.
